Let There Be Light
The book of Zohar (Radiance), also known as The Zohar, is regarded by many as the most enchanting and mysterious composition ever to be written. No other literary work has provoked quite so much awe and admiration among writers, thinkers, and spiritual seekers.
The Zohar contains all the secrets of creation, but until recently the wisdom of Kabbalah was locked under a thousand locks. Thanks to the work of Rav Yehuda Ashlag (1884-1954), the last of the great Kabbalists, The Zohar is revealed today in order to propel humanity to its next degree. Ashlag’s Sulam (Ladder) commentary has made The Zohar accessible to all.
Let There Be Light contains selected excerpts from the series Zohar for All, a refined edition of The Book of Zohar with the Sulam commentary. Each piece was carefully chosen for its beauty and depth as well as its capacity to draw the reader into The Zohar and get the most out of the reading experience.
The number at the beginning of each item marks the item in the portion from which it was taken.
More importantly, as The Zohar speaks of nothing but the intricate web that connects all souls, diving into its words attracts the special force that exists in that state of oneness, where we are all connected. The Zohar is the bridge that connects us to that source of energy and vitality that permeates all of reality.
